They inherently move in opposite directions.
So if you own a lot of bonds, you're sitting on some losses because of this.
Again, short-term bond yields like the Treasury bills reflect short-term interest rate expectations, whereas long-term yields like the yields on the 10-year and 30-year reflect longer-term expectations.
The three-month, six-month, and one-year bills, they tend to move in line with investors' expectations of where interest rates are going to go in the very near future.
And yields on those have jumped in the last week because it's looking increasing.
Increasingly likely that the Fed is going to raise rates this month.
That's a good question.
And the answer is not necessarily.
The Fed influences yields with its policy, but it doesn't control them.
The market ultimately sets the yields on treasury bonds.
And when it comes to long-term yields, those reflect investor expectations of where interest rates are going to be years from now.
And the last meeting is kind of an instructive example here.
At the last meeting, the Fed
Held back from raising rates, but long-term yields spiked afterwards anyway.
And the reason why is because people felt that the Fed was kind of just kicking the can down the road, that they weren't keeping up with inflation.
And so there was still this expectation that rates are going to be higher in the long term.
So yields went up.
I think that we can kind of compare this to like a person with a credit card.
If you're carrying a big credit card balance month to month, that's not a good sign of your credit worthiness.
And that's gonna hurt your credit score.
